Discussion in 'Looks' started by Malte Løkken, Apr 12, 2013. Malte Løkken Message Count: 18 Hello guys, I've been trying around with some skintones looks, and there's one look that I just can't seem to nail.

A Media Manager Has Your Back. In the world of HDSLR technology, media management is a very important position.

Every Elite Team member has held this position at some point during the untitled Navy Seal Movie to gain an understanding of HD image capture in a small footprint work-flow system and they all have jumped in head first! The unique skill set that my Elite Team brings is that they all have a film background and are comfortable with certain rituals that accompany being a motion picture film loader and 2nd assistant cameraman.

These include: managing the truck; keeping track of the gear and specialty pieces of equipment; creating an inventory and log; assessing how many magazines you have to load and color coding it according to the stock; labeling the magazines with the date, job, film stock and amount loaded on the magazine itself; and writing a camera report with the same information.
